Echocardiographic Assessment of Posterior Wall Thickness in Cardiac Patients: A Retrospective Study from Sudan

Rania Mohammed Ahmed

Abstract: Aim of the study: This study retrospectively assessed posterior wall thickness (PWT) using echocardiography. Method: A total of 113 patients' records with various cardiac conditions in Khartoum, Sudan, were reviewed between October 2022 and February 2023. Echocardiographic measurements, including left ventricular size, interventricular septum (IVS) thickness, ejection fraction (EF), and valve velocities, were analyzed along with patient demographics. Results: The findings showed a strong correlation between PWT and IVS thickness (p < 0.001) and a mild association with EF (p = 0.006), while no significant correlation was found with age, body mass index (BMI), or left ventricle size. Conclusion: Notably, obesity was associated with higher rates of abnormal PWT. These results underscore the significance of PWT in elucidating cardiac remodeling patterns and guiding localized cardiovascular interventions.
